Barth's sporting goods store

Two generations of the Barth family operated their sporting goods store on the west side of Broadway between First and Second streets. The store, shown here in 1927, was a popular place for hunters and anglers. Photos like this can be seen at the Chico Museum exhibit, "Chico in Black and White: Historical Photographs from the John Nopel Collection." The museum at 141 Salem St. is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
